Temptation

A mountain biker I know passed along a link to an inspiring blog belonging to Jennifer Hanks, a thirty five year old professional mountain biker fighting breast cancer. Reading through her blog I have come to the conclusion, once again, that women are simply tougher then men.

Once again I feel as though things seem to fall in place for me as I have been more worried about the coming chemotherapy treatments than the radiation or surgeries. I will try to use her ideas about working through chemotherapy as I progress through this.

The morning today was fantastic, one of those cool mornings with a hint of fall in the air. Wrapping my midsection like a mummy I was able to head out and run with very little discomfort from the port.

I only ran about two and a half miles on the trail since I will meet the boys at the Hamburg Trail-head later this afternoon for four or five more. I did not have my Garmin with me but there were times when I felt like I was moving along quite respectfully.

Perhaps the only “Down Side” to my run this morning is “found temptation” to push hard at the Susie's Cause 5K this coming Sunday, don't worry I'll play it smart.
